If we have asked you to provide a sample (such as urine, stool, swab or a FIT test), you can place it in the red sample drop-off box located near the main entrance of the surgery. This service is for our registered patients only and helps us handle samples safely and confidentially. For safety and confidentiality reasons, we are unable to accept samples from non-patients. Any such items will be securely destroyed.

Ensure your sample is in the plastic sleeve provided, if this has not been provided, please speak to reception. Ensure the bottle / swab has a printed label attached with your name and DOB otherwise the sample will not be accepted. Please ensure to drop off your sample in to the box before 2pm Monday to Friday. Push the top of the box to open then pull down to close. Ensure the lid is closed fully. If your sample has not been requested by a clinician, please ask a member of the reception team who will be happy to help.
